Description
"Olivia, dearest, what would you like the new year to bring you?""I donno, daddy. I already have everything I could ever need. I have a new home and I have you, and all thanks to Mr. Basil and Dr. Dawson."
"Yes, indeed... We owe them so many things."
"Daddy? I miss London..."
"Me too, dearest."
"Why did we have to leave, daddy? We could have gone back home!"
"If only we could have..."
"... I didn't even get the chance to make a proper memory."
" Dearest, there shall always be time for you to make a memory. Time is certainly something you don't lack in fac- Ah! Olivia, quickly, make a wish before the clock strikes twelve. You have only ten more seconds!"
'There is always time to make a memory ... if that is true, that that shall be my New Year's Wish: I want to make a memory - a memory of a nice sunny day, with Dr. Dawson reading one of his books, with Mr. Basil playing his violin ... and sunshine and butterflies and ... '
"... 3 ... 2 ..."
'... everybody being happy.'
"...1!"
For the "New Year's Wishes" contest for Disney Artists. If you wish to enter the contest, you may find the rules here .
NOTE: the contest is open only for group watchers
Now concerning the work ... please do not ask where the idea came from. It just did while I was listening to "A Few Good Friends " from Piglet's Big Movie(can't decide if I like the English version or the Romanian one ( [link] ) more). And from there ... my hand picked up a pencil, started doodling, liked said doddle, then scan - Photoshop - changed my mind concerning the general atmosphere a couple of times (finally settled for a dream-like/memory-type one) - and voila!
Making the grass tall was particularly fun
Still ... I BLAME YOU DISNEY!!!
Anywho ~ this is my first time drawing bot Olivia and Dr. Dawson, so GMD fans, be merciful ....
edit 22'th of February 2010: a DD!!! Thank you ever so much

I love this so much! it's so beautiful!
I love The Great Mouse Detective and this picture.
It has so much meaning to it!
Is the "Making Memories" title at the top apart of the picture?
If you don't mind me saying I don't think it's needed since you title the picture on DA anyway.
wonderful art though.

I know it's not needed, but I wanted to add the text it in to bring a little more balance. Sometimes a little text here and there make all the difference

THIS... IS... SPAR- No, I mean
AWESOMEEEE!
Damn, those mice look box- awesome, I mean awesome...
Well, my randomness aside you're awesome at drawing mice... and other disney like thingies... Solution (to a question no one asked): work for disney.
Speaking of animations: I like to move it, move it, move it! (watch Madagaskar, and then look at the emoticon)

Praise randomness!
And that's a good advice

...Lords above.
You haven't the faintest idea how awesome you are for drawing this.
This- where do I even begin? I must point out how well done the lighting is, to begin with something technical. The colouring is beautiful, the technique jaw-dropping.
Most of all, though, I love the story behind it, and the way they all look together; Basil especially looks almost fatherly. Decent GMD art is diffult to find, and this simply stopped me in my tracks.

I feel an unusual amount of pride hearing/reading this
And as for the story ... I'm a reader above all else, so I believe coming up for stories for my sketches in inevitable XD

You're quite welcome! You have no idea how happy I was to find a good artist who draws GMD fanart.
Well, the pride is well-earned. Bravo again on your wonderful art!
x3 Oh, I'm usually the same way! Especially since short stories and drabbles come to me so easily.

*singing* With a few good friends and a stick or two, a house is built at a corner called pooh. With a friend and a stick, or three or four, a house it built where it wasn't... BEFOREEEEE! *ends singing*
oddly enough, I haven't heard that song in years.

Anyway, this is really pretty. the colors are wonderful and it makes me happy
